Depends. Have you mounted your cache direcories using softupdates?

By default, FreeBSD's filesystems are mounted sync. Linux ext2fs
is mounted async. If you set your cache filesystems to be mounted
using softupdates (tunefs -n enable /cache when its unmounted, then
remount) it'll speed things like squid -z up quite a bit.
